Shell/Aviation Beach

Thinking of coming over to Muscat for a week this autumn, driving from Dubai in our 4x4 (Honda MRV). I hear good things about the shell beach - sometimes called Aviation Beach - great shells, reachable only by 4x4.

Can anyone confirm ?.

More importantly, where is it - I can't find it on any on-line maps or info ?. Which 4 or 5* hotels would be convenient for it?
